3. INFORMATION BY PRINCIPAL SEGMENTS FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 3Preliminary note: In order to facilitate the following comparative analysis, the financial information of previous periods has been re-expressed (not audited), as set out on page 22 of this report. The changes were mainly due to taking control of SCUSA, in 2014, and the loss of control of the fund management companies in 2013, as if they had been effective in the previously presented periods.

4. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIODFINANCIAL REPORT 20144 Income statement: (more detail on pages 7 - 10) The first quarter attributable profit of EUR 1,303 million was the highest of the last eight quarters and underscored the return to more normal levels, within the Groups new phase of focusing more on growing profits and profitability. This profit was 22.9% higher than the fourth quarters, fuelled by the improvement in all the main P&L lines: recovery of commercial revenues and lower costs and provisions. In year-on-year terms, profit was 8.1% higher, impacted by the negative exchange rates. Excluding this effect, the increase was 26.0%, as follows: Gross income rose 4.2% and its quality improved as all the increase came from net interest income (+8.0%) and net fee income (+2.9%). This was due to good management of volumes and spreads and boosting transactions and linkage. Costs increased 3.5% due to the net result between higher costs for business development and commercial transformation in some countries, such as Mexico, Chile, the UK and US, and obtaining synergies in others. Of note among the latter were Spain and Poland, with year-on-year falls of more than 5%. Provisions were 4.2% lower, with falls in all countries and particularly in Brazil. The Groups cost of credit improved from 2.45% in the first quarter of 2013 to 1.65% a year later. Strong balance sheet: (more detail on pages 11 - 20) The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio phase-in was 10.6% at the end of March. Tier 1 was 10.8% and the total capital ratio 12.1%, well above the minimum requirement of 8%. The leverage ratio (equity/assets according to CRD IV) was 4.6%. The Groups liquidity ratio (net loan-to-deposit ratio) remained at a very comfortable level of 112% after incorporating SCUSA by global integration. Spains ratio was 85%. Volumes reflect the different moment of the countries' macroeconomic environment and the Groups various strategies in each of them. Emerging countries increased around 10% year-on-year, both in loans as well as in deposits plus mutual funds combined (excluding the forex effect), while mature ones dropped 3% in loans and 2% in funds, affected by deleveraging in some countries in loans, and by the strategy of sharply cutting the cost of funds. Better evolution in the first quarter of 2014 with growth in most units. The Groups NPL ratio stood at 5.52% at the end of March and coverage was 66%. Both were better than at the end of 2013. Of note in the first quarter were the lower entries of NPLs, which dropped from more than EUR 4,000 million in each quarter of 2013 to EUR 2,536 million. Of note were the falls in Spain, Poland and UK. Comercial strategy: (more detail on page 55) The programme to transform Retail Banking was begun in 2013. Some of its central planks are: Launch of Santander Advance: this is an innovative value proposal to support the growth of SMEs. The Advance Programme has been presented in Spain and will be extended to the rest of countries in the coming quarters. Launch of Santander Trade Club, enabling exporters and importers to get to know one another, interact and be connected in order to generate new international business opportunities. Santander Select established in all countries. After its implementation in Spain, UK, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil in 2013, it was launched in Portugal in February, in the US in March and in the rest of the Groups countries in the next few months. The Santander share: (more detail on page 21) The share price at the end of March was EUR 6.921 (+6.4% in the quarter and +32.0% y-o-y). The total shareholders return, including the dividend remuneration, was 46.3% in the last 12 months. In January, and within the Santander Dividendo Eleccin programme (scrip dividend), shareholders were able to opt to receive in cash or in shares the amount equivalent to the third dividend charged to 2013s earnings (EUR 0.15 per share). Shareholders who chose this option represented 86% of the share capital. In April, shareholders can opt to receive the amount equivalent to the fourth dividend (EUR 0.15) in shares or cash. JANUARY - MARCH

5. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIOD FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 5 Continental Europe: attributable profit of EUR 463 million in the first quarter, 64.3% more than the fourth quarter. This jump was due to gross income, costs and provisions. Net operating income was 16.7% higher and 33.5% after provisions. Profit was 53.0% higher year-on-year, also due to the good performance of all the main P&L lines. United Kingdom: attributable profit of 311 million, 3.5% more than in the fourth quarter and related to net interest income growth and lower provisions. Profit was 63.1% higher year-on-year, spurred by a 13.0% rise in gross income and a 27.2% drop in provisions from the high credit quality and better economic environment. The banks commercial transformation and success of the 1|2|3 range of products continued. Latin America: attributable profit of EUR 712 million, 14.7% more than the fourth quarter (excluding the forex impact) due to lower costs and provisions and stable gross income. In year-on-year terms, profit was 11.5% lower, largely because of reduced trading gains, costs associated with business expansion and the higher tax rate (Mexico). Commercial revenues increased 2.4% and provisions were 16.0% lower. United States: attributable profit of $216 million, 4.9% more than the fourth quarter, thanks to higher gross income and lower costs which produced an 8.8% rise in net operating income. Compared to the first quarter of 2013, net operating income was 19.4% higher, but this did not feed through to profit (-35.0%) due to the higher provisions at SCUSA linked to strong new lending and retention in the first quarter. Business areas: (more detail on pages 22 - 60) In January, Grupo Santander announced the sale to Altamira Asset Management Holdings, S.L., a company participated by Apollo European Principal Finance Fund II, of 85% of the share capital of Altamira Asset Management, S.L., a company engaged in the recovery of contentious stage loans in Spain and the sale or rental of foreclosed real estate assets originating from such activity. Also in January, the initial public offering of shares of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (SCUSA) and its listing on the New York Stock Exchange took place. A 21.6% of the company was placed, of which a 4% corresponds to the shares sold by Grupo Santander. After this sale, Grupo Santander maintains a 60.7% stake. In March Banco Santander, S.A. made the first issue of contingent perpetual preferred securities convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the Bank, computable as additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital. The final amount of the issue amounted to EUR 1.5 billion, after accumulating demand of around EUR 15 billion. The remuneration is 6.25% on an annual basis for the first five years.

6. GENERAL BACKGROUNDFINANCIAL REPORT 20146 General background Grupo Santander conducted its business in a more favourable economic environment, backed by the recovery of developed countries. Europes overall growth was positive but still moderate and far from that in the UK and the US. Emerging economies continued the slowdown that began in 2013. The euro zone continued to make progress in Banking Union, following the agreement on the regulations for the Single Resolution Mechanism, (SRM) which joins the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) in the process of being implemented. After its approval by the European Parliament and the EU Council, it is expected to enter into force in January 2015. The US economy grew by around 2.5% in 2013, spurred by the good financial situation of companies and households, easier access to loans and improved business confidence, which offset the impact of bad weather on spending, investment and job creation. All of this points to steady growth in the first quarter and without inflationary tensions. This would enable the Federal Reserve to continue to gradually taper its stimulative quantitative easing policy (reduced assets purchase) and hold interest rates in 2014. Latin Americas economies and financial markets reflect the tapering of the Feds policy and the signs of a slowdown in Chinas growth, although it varies by country. In Brazil, fourth quarter GDP growth was surprisingly high (0.7% quarter-on-quarter and 1.9% year-on-year), without altering the trend toward more moderate expansion, particularly in the first half of the year. S&P downgraded the sovereign rating one notch to BBB-, with stable outlook. As a result of high inflation, the central bank increased the Selic rate again (11.0% in April; +375 b.p. in 12 months), while the exchange rate has recovered against the dollar and the euro since December and corrected to some extent the sharp depreciation in 2013. After the slowdown in Mexico in the fourth quarter (0.2% quarter on-quarter; 0.7% year-on-year), first quarter growth pointed to over 2% year-on-year thanks to the strength of private consumption and the push of investment from structural reforms. This resulted in S&P and Moodys upgrading the sovereign rating one notch to BBB+ and A3, respectively. With inflation under control, the central bank held its interest rates after cutting them by 100 b.p. in 2013. The peso depreciated a little against the dollar and the euro. The Chilean economy slowed down sharply in the fourth quarter (-0.1% quarter-on-quarter; 2.7% year-on-year) and points to first quarter growth of around 2% year-on-year, fuelled by private consumption that remained strong. With inflation close to target and without expectations of rising, the central bank reduced the benchmark rate by 50 b.p. in the first quarter to 4% (-100 b.p. in six months). The peso continued to depreciate against the dollar and the euro. Recovery is underway in the euro zone including countries on the periphery. The moderate rise in GDP growth in the fourth quarter (+0.3% quarter-on-quarter; +0.5% year-on-year) produced the first positive year-on-year growth since 2011, and this continued in 2014 (reflected in confidence indicators). Germany, the Benelux countries grew faster than the average, while Spain, Portugal and Italy registered positive quarter-on-quarter rates. With very low inflation (below 1%) and the benchmark rate at a record low of 0.25% since November 2013, the European Central Bank has not taken any further stimulus measures so far this year as the markets expected. Despite this, the euro continued to appreciate against the dollar. Spains recovery is underway. GDP growth (+0.2% quarter-on quarter and -0.2% year-on-year) continued to strengthen in the first quarter of 2014, backed by greater investment and private consumption that joined the solid export sector. There was also good news from the labour market (social security affiliations), pointing to a faster pace of job creation. The progress made and the better outlook further reduced the risk premium (to 170 b.p. from 220 b.p. at the end of 2013) and led Moodys to upgrade the sovereign rating by one notch to Ba2. The UK economy consolidated its recovery (fourth quarter growth: +0.7% quarter-on-quarter; +2.8% year-on-year). The stronger pace continued in 2014, fuelled by household consumption and better prospects for investment and exports. With inflation under control and unemployment falling, the Bank of England had to adjust its forward guidance monetary policy to the excess of spare capacity and reflecting on salaries and prices as an indicator of interest rates evolution. The Polish economy continued to accelerate in the fourth quarter (+0.6% quarter-on-quarter; +2.7% year-on-year) and the economy will remain more balanced in 2014: greater weight of private investment and consumption, a recovering labour market and an export sector that continues to be the main engine of growth. With inflation below 1% and a stable currency against the euro, the central bank aims to hold the benchmark interest rate at 2.5% until the last part of the year.

7. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 7 GRUPO SANTANDER. INCOME STATEMENT First quarter attributable profit of EUR 1,303 million, the highest in the last eight quarters. It is 22.9% more than the fourth quarter of 2013, due to the recovery of revenues and lower costs and provisions. Profit was 8.1% more year-on-year, hit by exchange rates. Excluding this, it was 26.0% higher, thanks to: Gross income was 4.2% higher and of better quality, as net interest income grew 8.0% and net fee income 2.9%. Costs increased 3.5% due to business development, mainly in Mexico, Chile and the US. The impact of synergies is reflected in Spain and Poland (-6% and -5%, respectively). Loan-loss provisions were 4.2% lower. Of note was Brazil. The cost of credit improved from 2.45% in the first quarter of 2013 to 1.65% a year later. The Group posted an attributable profit of EUR 1,303 million in the first quarter, the highest in the last eight quarters and underscoring the return to more normal levels, within the Groups new phase of focusing more on growing profits and profitability. Profit was 22.9% higher than the fourth quarter of 2013, due to the improvement in all the main P&L lines: increased business with customers, reflected in higher net interest income and fee income, lower costs and provisions. The capital gains from the corporate operations of Altamira (EUR 385 million net) and SCUSAs IPO (EUR 730 million net) had no impact on profits as a fund for an equivalent amount was established, pending allocation. In order to compare the first and fourth quarter results, it is necessary to take into account the impact of the change in exchange rates of various currencies against the euro. The quarterly changes in the Groups total revenues and costs in euros incorporate a negative impact of between 2 and 3 percentage points. The impact in the UK was +2 p.p; -5/-6 p.p. in Latin America (Brazil: -4/-5 p.p.; Mexico: -2 p.p.; Chile: -7 p.p.; Argentina: -25 p.p.) and the US -1 p.p.

On gross income: Net interest income increased for the fourth straight quarter (+3.5%). Of note were Spain, US, SCF and Chile. Net fee income increased 2.3%, with most units performing well. In other revenues, trading gains accounted for less than 8% of total gross income, and their increase in the first quarter was almost entirely due to wholesale activity in Spain, dividends were seasonally low, and income by the equity accounted method was similar to the fourth quarter. Operating expenses fell 1.8%, most notably in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Spain, Poland and US. Net operating income was 9.0% more than in the fourth quarter. Loan loss provisions declined 0.8% over the fourth quarter. This was due to lower ones in Spain, for the third quarter running, in the UK and in the main Latin American units (in Brazil for the fourth consecutive quarter). On the other hand, rises in Portugal, Santander Consumer Finance (both over a lower than average fourth quarter, partly due to the release of funds), and above all the US because of stronger new lending by SCUSA. JANUARY - MARCH

9. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 9 Net operating income after provisions was 21.5% higher. Over the first quarter of 2013 attributable profit increased 8.1% and 26.0% after eliminating the exchange rate impact. The exchange rate variations of various currencies against the euro had a negative impact on gross income and operating expenses in year-on-year terms of -10 p.p. and -8 p.p., respectively, for the whole Group. The impact on the large areas was negative for the US (-4 p.p.), Brazil (-18 p.p.), Mexico (-8 p.p.), Chile (-19 p.p.) and Argentina (around -50 p.p.) and positive for the UK (+3 p.p.). The performance of the income statement and comparisons with the first quarter of 2013 excluding the exchange rate impact was as follows: Gross income was EUR 10,124 million, 4.2% higher year-on-year: Net interest income amounted to EUR 6,992 million (+8.0%), with a good performance by all units except for Brazil which declined 3.5% because of lower spreads from the change of mix. This fall was offset by the improved cost of credit, enabling net operating income after provisions to rise 5.2%. The good performace of net interest income is the result of an adequate policy between the growth in volumes and management of spreads. Volumes grew faster in Latin America, and spreads were better in Europe, due to the strategy of reducing the cost of funding and stable / improved loan spreads, partly because of the end of mortgage repricing in Spain and Portugal. Net fee income was 2.9% higher at EUR 2,331 million. That from mutual funds was up 13.3%, from securities and custody 15.5% and from availability of credit lines 26.6%, while those from claiming past-due debt were 29.5% lower. The aggregate of net interest income and fee income increased 6.7% and represented 92% of the Groups gross income (90% in the first quarter of 2013). Gains on financial transactions dropped 15.6%; income by the equity accounted method rose 17.9%; dividends were down 45.9% and other operating income, including the contribution to the deposit guarantee fund, was EUR 63 million negative.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL REPORT 201410 NET OPERATING INCOME LOAN-LOSS PROVISIONS EUR million EUR million Operating expenses increased 3.5%, with a varied performance by units divided into three blocks. A first block with units in processes of integration (Spain and Poland) or adjusting structures (Portugal). Their costs declined in nominal terms. Brazils expenses rose well below the countrys inflation rate (-3% in real terms), underscoring the effort to improve efficiency. A second block in which the UK is combining investment in its business transformation plan with higher costs in line with inflation. The same goes for SCF. Lastly, and with different dynamic, Mexico, Chile and Argentina, with rises from their expansion plans or business capacity improvements, and the US where Santander Banks franchise is being improved, SCUSA is growing strongly and the Group is adapting to the new regulatory requirements.

Loan-loss provisions were EUR 2,695 million (-4.2% y-o-y). Reduced provisions in Brazil, UK, Portugal, SCF, Chile, Spain and the real estate unit in run-off in Spain. They were maintained in Poland and higher in Mexico, due to greater lending and the change to expected loss in the commercial portfolio, and in the US because of the greater initial requirement for provisions linked to SCUSAs growth in new lending, after the agreement with Chrysler was signed. Net operating income after provisions rose 16.6% year-on-year to EUR 2,582 million. Other asset impairment losses and other results were EUR 433 million negative, compared to EUR 372 million also negative in the first quarter of 2013. Profit before tax was EUR 2,149 million and attributable profit EUR 1,303 million. Earnings per share were EUR 0.113 in the first quarter compared to EUR 0.116 in the same period of 2013. The fall was related to the rise in the number of shares associated with the scrip dividend. The Groups ROE was 6.2% and return on tangible equity (ROTE, attributable profit/shareholders equity less goodwill) 9.0%. In both cases, the figures were better than for the whole of 2013 (5.4% and 7.9%, respectively). EARNINGS PER SHARE EUR million JANUARY - MARCH

12. Germany: 3% Spains run-off real estate: 1% CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL REPORT 201412 GRUPO SANTANDER. BALANCE SHEET The Groups activity and strategy continued to reflect the market context: Low demand for loans in Europe, particularly in Spain and Portugal, though with signs of recovering in recent months. Growth of 7% in the US and 10% in Latin America at constant exchange rates. In funds, focus on the cost of deposits and on marketing mutual funds continued (+15% year-on year). The Group's net loan-to-deposit ratio remained at a very comfortable level of 112% in March. Common equity Tier 1 (CET1) was 10.6% at the end of March, well above the minimum requirement. Tier 1 was 10.8% and the total capital ratio 12.1%. The leverage ratio was 4.6%. DISTRIBUTION OF TOTAL ASSETS March 2014 Other: 4% USA: 7% Other Latin America: 2% Spain: 25% Chile: 3% Mexico: 4% Brazil: 12% Portugal: 4% Poland: 2% Other Europe: 4% United Kingdom: 29% Total managed and marketed funds at the end of March amounted to EUR 1,313,014 million, of which EUR 1,168,718 million (89%) were on-balance sheet and the rest mutual and pension funds and managed portfolios. When making quarterly and year-on-year comparisons, it is important to take into account the impact of end-of-period exchange rates as a result of the changes in the main currencies in which the Group operates, which have been very significant in some units, particularly for year-on-year comparisons. The depreciations against the euro over March 2013 were as follows: 7% for the dollar, 12% for the Mexican peso, 18% for the Brazilian real, 21% for the Chilean peso and 41% for the Argentine peso, while the Polish zloty hardly changed and sterling appreciated by 2%. The impact on year-on-year changes in lending and customer funds was between 3 and 4 p.p. negative. The exchange rate impact in the first quarter was virtually zero, both on lending and funds. This was not the case for currencies. The Brazilian real and sterling appreciated 4% and 1%, respectively, against the euro, while the dollar, the Polish zloty and the Mexican peso hardly changed and the Chilean and Argentine pesos depreciated 5% and 19%, respectively. Customer lending The Groups gross lending amounted to EUR 721,856 million at the end of March, 1.5% over December 2013, (+1.8% after eliminating repos). Excluding the exchange rate impact, lending in Continental Europe increased 0.5% due to Spain, Poland and Santander Consumer Finance. Of note was Spain with a slight increase of EUR 442 million (+0.3%), the first quarterly rise in the last five years. In the UK it rose 0.2%, in Latin America 1.0% with growth in all countries except Brazil, and in the US 3.2%, thanks to the good performance of Santander Bank and SCUSA. Over March 2013, lending was 6% lower (a drop of less than 1% after eliminating the exchange rate impact and repos).

13. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 13 In Continental Europe, the low demand for loans in Spain and Portugal saw falls in their balances. On the other hand, lending grew in Santander Consumer Finance and in Poland, while there was a sharp drop of 24% in run-off real estate activity in Spain, as a result of maintaining the strategy of reducing this type of risk. Gross customer lending in Spain (excluding the run-off real estate unit, commented on below) was 7% lower year-on-year The distribution was as follow: Lending to individuals amounted to around EUR 63,000 million, of which EUR 50,066 million are home mortgages (-4% in 12 months). The portfolio was concentrated in financing first homes, with a strong concentration in the lowest tranches of loan-to-value (87% with an LTV of less than 80%). Loans directly to SMEs and companies without real estate purpose amounted to EUR 82,639 million and accounted for the largest share of lending (51% of the total). They dropped 7% year-on-year, mainly in the first half of 2013, as in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first of 2014, they remained stable. Lending to the Spanish public sector stood at EUR 14,081 million compared to EUR 16,946 million in March 2013. The reduction was due to the amortization in the fourth quarter of 2013 of financing for suppliers (around EUR 4,000 million). In Portugal, lending dropped 4%. That to individuals was down 3% and to companies 7%. Balances in construction and real estate, which represent only 3% of lending, declined 26%. In Poland lending increased 2% in the last 12 months, in local currency, backed by that to companies (+6%), while lending to individuals remained unchanged. Santander Consumer Finances balances rose 2%, with a varied performance by countries. Germanys lending, which accounted for 51% of the areas total, rose 1%, the Nordic countries and Poland increased by 16% and 10%, respectively, in local currency and Spain rose 14% (partly due to the consolidation of Financiera El Corte Ingls -FECI-) while Italy and Portugal declined by more than 10%. New lending was 13% higher in the first quarter than in the same period of 2013, as follows: +8% for durable goods, +7% for used vehicles and +14% for new ones, where the evolution continued to be better than the sectors (+7% car sales in our footprint). Net customer lending included in the unit of Spains run-off real estate amounted to EUR 5,208 million. The balance continued to fall and was EUR 1,636 million lower than in March 2013 (-24%). In the United Kingdom, the balance of customer loans was 3% lower in sterling year-on-year. In local criteria, the balance of home mortgages dropped 4%, partly offset by the rise in loans to companies (+12%), both large companies and SMEs. Lending in Latin America in constant currency increased 10% year-on-year, with growth in all countries: Brazil (+6%), Mexico (+15%), Chile (+12%), Argentina (+34%), Uruguay (+34%) and Peru (+36%).

Santander Banks dropped 1% as a result of the strategy in the mortgage segment in recent quarteres, while SCUSAs rose 36%, benefiting from the strategic alliance with Chrysler. At the end of March, Continental Europe accounted for 38% of the Groups total net lending (23% Spain), the UK 34%, Latin America 19% (10% Brazil) and the US 9%. Customer funds under management and marketed Total managed funds, including balances marketed, amounted to EUR 966,704 million, 1.7% higher over December 2013 excluding the exchange rate effect. Deposits (excluding repos) and mutual funds rose 1.9%, with the latter one increasing in all geographic areas (Continental Europe: 2.5%; the UK: +0.9%; Latin America: +2.6% and the US: +1.0%). Customer funds were 1% lower over March 2013 excluding the exchange rate effect (-5% on accounting terms), due to the lower balances in debt securities and repos. The aggregate of deposits excluding repos plus mutual funds rose 1%. Deposits were 1% lower and mutual funds 15% higher. Continental Europes main units performed as follows: Spains deposits dropped 2% year-on-year and mutual funds increased 32%, consolidating Grupo Santanders leadership. This big rise was due to the strategy of reducing expensive deposits and more active marketing of mutual funds. Portugals deposits dropped 5%, excluding repos, due to the greater focus on cost, and mutual funds declined 18%. Polands deposits increased 5% in local currency, due to active management of funds reflected in the reduction in the expensive deposits of Kredyt Bank and the rise in mutual funds (+3%). Santander Consumer Finances deposits dropped 3% due to Germany (87% of the areas total) as a result of the policy of reducing higher cost balances. Poland, Austria and the Nordic countries recorded significant increases, though over very modest figures. In the UK, customer deposits excluding repos (in sterling) dropped 3%, due to the strategy of replacing expensive and less stable deposits with those that offer a better opportunity of linkage. Demand deposits grew 5% in the last 12 months because of the rise in current accounts as a result of the successful marketing of the 1|2|3 range of products, which offset the reduction in time deposits.

US customer deposits continued to improve their mix and cost. Demand deposits increased 7%, a rise absorbed by the drop in time deposits. and thus the aggregate of deposits and mutual funds declined 3%. Pension plans rose 9% in Spain in the last 12 months and 11% in Portugal, the only countries where Santander markets this product. Continental Europe accounted for 37% of managed customer funds (26% Spain), the UK 31%, Latin America 26% (Brazil 15%) and the US 6%. The Group, for strategic reasons, maintained a selective policy of issuing securities in the international fixed income markets and strived to adapt the frequency and volume of operations to the structural liquidity needs of each unit, as well as to the receptiveness of each market. In the first quarter of 2014, issues of senior debt amounted to EUR 8,475 million and covered bonds to EUR 905 million. Of note in the first category was debt issuance of EUR 1,500 million by Banco Santander, S.A. in March 2014 at 1.375%, well below the 4% of the last equivalent issue in January 2013. Also noteworthy was the issuance of EUR 1 billion of covered bonds by the subsidiary in Portugal (recorded April 1) at 1.50%, which saw the return to the market of Santander Totta after four years. Both were over subscribed, reflecting the high degree of interest in Santander risk by investors. As regards securitizations, the Groups subsidiaries placed in the first quarter a total of EUR 3,418 million, mainly via the specialised consumer finance units. This issuing activity underscores the Groups capacity to access the different segments of institutional investors via more than 10 issuance units, including the parent bank, Banco Santander, S.A. and the main subsidiaries of the countries where it operates. All this reaffirms the Groups policy of liquidity self-sufficiency for its subsidiaries so that each one adapts its issuance programme to the evolution of its balance sheet.

16. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORTFINANCIAL REPORT 201416 Maturities of medium- and long-term debt amounted to EUR 10,259 million, of which EUR 5,769 million was senior debt and EUR 4,490 million covered bonds. The evolution of loans and funds put the net loan-to-deposit ratio at 112%. The ratio of deposits plus medium- and long-term funding to the Groups loans was 117%, underscoring the comfortable funding structure of the Groups lending. Other items of the balance sheet Goodwill amounted to EUR 26,056 million, virtually unchanged from March 2013. The balance of financial assets available for sale amounted to EUR 90,889 million, 15% lower (-EUR 16,296) than a year earlier and mainly due to the reduced exposure of public debt in Spain and the US. The increase over December 2013 is basically due to Brazil and the UK. Trading derivatives amounted to EUR 60,252 million in assets and EUR 59,664 million in liabilities (EUR 45,139 million and EUR 45,962 lower, respectively and due to long-term interest rate hikes and the cancellation of positions). Shareholders equity and solvency ratios Shareholders funds, after retained profits, amounted to EUR 85,631 million (+EUR 3,474 million and +4% in the last 12 months). Minority interests were 16% lower, due to Spain (integration of Banesto) and Brazil (impact of exchange rates and the operation to optimise capital). Valuation adjustments dropped by EUR 4,241 million over March 2013, with a notable negative impact of exchange rates (partly hedged) on the value of stakes in foreign subsidiaries. The figure also includes the negative impact of exchange rates on goodwill, but with a neutral impact on capital ratios, as it is recorded in the same way in assets. Total equity amounted to EUR 82,520 million at the end of March. The Groups eligible equity on the basis of CRD IV criteria amounted to EUR 65,459 million (EUR 22,272 million above the minimum requirement). The common equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1) was 10.6% at the end of March, the Tier 1 ratio 10.8% and the total ratio 12.1%. The evolution of the CET1 ratio reflects the ordinary generation of capital, on the one hand, and, on the other, the impact of greater risk-weighted assets, the capital optimisation operation in Brazil and the incorporation of SCUSA. In addition, and under the new European regulation on equity, Banco Santander made the first issue in March of contingent perpetual preferred securities convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the Bank, which are computable as additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital. This operation bolstered its solvency (Tier 1).

17. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 17 The final amount of the issue (EUR 1.5 billion), after accumulating demand of around EUR 15 billion and a total of 635 orders to buy from almost entirely foreign investors, was targeted at only qualified investors. It was issued at par and its remuneration, whose payment is subject to certain conditions and to the discretion of the Bank, was set at 6.25% on an annual basis for the first five years. The cost is significantly lower than initially envisaged and the lowest of the issues made by similar European banks in the last year. After that, it will be reviewed by applying a margin of 541 basis points on the five-year Mid-Swap Rate. From a qualitative stand point, the Group has solid capital ratios that are adjusted to its business model, the structure of the balance sheet and the risk profile. COMPUTABLE CAPITAL EUR million 31.03.14 CET1 57,203 Basic capital 58,524 Computable capital 65,459 Risk-weighted assets 539,835 CET1 capital ratio 10.60 T1 capital ratio 10.84 BIS ratio 12.13 Shareholders' equity surplus 22,272 Rating agencies The Groups access to wholesale funding markets, as well as the cost of issues, depends to some extent on the ratings accorded by rating agencies. Rating agencies regularly review the Groups ratings. Debt classification depends on a series of internal factors (solvency, business model, capacity to generate profits, etc.) and external ones related to the general economic environment, the sectors situation and the sovereign risk of the countries in which the Group operates. The rating and outlook for the Kingdom of Spain has improved in the last few quarters. In 2013, Fitch, Standard & Poors and Moodys improved the outlook from negative to stable and, in the first quarter of 2014, Moodys upgraded the rating from Baa3 to Baa2 and the outlook from stable to positive. Following these changes, the sovereign ratings for Spain are as follows: BBB- by Standard & Poors, BBB by Fitch, Baa2 by Moodys and A (low) by DBRS. On April, Fitch has reviewed the ratings, as commented on later. The methodology used by the agencies limits the rating of a bank above that of the sovereign of the country in which it is based in some cases. This means that despite the Groups good fundamentals, Santanders rating is limited by the sovereign debt rating. At the end of March, Banco Santander is the only bank in the world with a rating higher than that of the sovereign of the country in which it is based by the four agencies: BBB Standard & Poors, BBB+ Fitch, Baa1 Moodys and A DBRS. At the end of 2013, Fitch and S&P improved the outlook to stable and in the first quarter of 2014 Moodys upgraded the rating from Baa2 to Baa1 with stable outlook. These higher ratings than the sovereign recognize Santanders financial strength and diversification. Recently, GBB Rating and Scope have assigned Santander ratings of A+ and A respectively. The agencies good assessment of Santanders credit profile is reflected in the rating of the Banks individual fundamentals, which in the case of S&P is a-, a level equivalent to its peers including those based on countries with a better macroeconomic situation.

Net NPL entries (excluding the perimeter and forex effects) were 39% lower year-on-year, with sharp falls in Spain, Poland, the UK and Brazil. The Groups coverage at the end of March was 66% (+1 p.p. in the first quarter). Loan-loss provisions stood at EUR 2,695 million, (4.2% less y-o-y, excluding fx impact), bringing the cost of credit to 1.65% (2.45% in March 2013). Credit risk management Net NPL entries in the first quarter of 2014, excluding the perimeter and forex effects, amounted to EUR 2,536 million, 39% lower than in the same period of 2013, whith sharp falls in Spain, Poland, the UK and Brazil. Non-performing and doubtful loans remained almost unchanged at EUR 42,300 million. This balance, together with the current lending levels, put the Groups NPL ratio at 5.52%, nine basis points lower than at the end of 2013. Loan-loss provisions stood at EUR 28,037 million, of which EUR 5,475 million were generic provisions. Total funds rose EUR 511 million (+2%) since the end of 2013 and brought coverage to 66% (65% in December 2013). It should be borne in mind that the NPL ratio, particularly in the UK but also in Spain, is affected by the weight of mortgage balances CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT* (EUR million) Var. 31.03.14 31.03.13 (%) 31.12.13 Non-performing loans 42,300 38,693 9.3 42,420 NPL ratio (%) 5.52 4.75 5.61 Loan-loss allowances 28,037 28,652 (2.1) 27,526 Specific 22,562 22,950 (1.7) 22,433 Generic 5,475 5,702 (4.0) 5,093 Coverage ratio (%) 66.3 74.1 64.9 Cost of credit (%) ** 1.65 2.45 1.69 (*) Excluding country-risk (**) 12 months net loan-loss provisions / average lending Note: NPL ratio: Non-performing loans / computable assets that require lower provisions, as they have collateral not reflected here.

The Groups net loan loss provisions, deducting write-offs recovered, were EUR 2,695 million at the end of March, 1.65% over the average lending in the last 12 months, compared to EUR 3,142 million (2.45%) in the same period of 2013. The NPL ratios and coverage by countries are set out below Spains NPL ratio was 7.61% (+12 b.p. in the quarter). This rise, which was well below that of previous quarteres, was due to the significant reduction of NPL entries, mainly in the companies portfolio. Coverage was 45% (+1 p.p. since the end of 2013. There is a separate unit for Spains run-off real estate, which includes customer loans mainly for real estate development, and which has a specialised management model, equity stakes related to the property sector (Metrovacesa and SAREB) and foreclosed assets. The Groups strategy in the last few years has been to sharply reduce these loans. At the end of March, they stood at EUR 10,273 million net and represented around 3% of loans in Spain and less than 1% of the Groups total loans. Their evolution was as follows: Net loans of EUR 5,208 million, EUR 527 million lower than at the end of 2013 and EUR 1,636 million below March 2013 (-24%). The NPL ratio was 69.9% with coverage of 68%. Total coverage of these loans, including performing loans, was 51%, unchanged in the last 12 months. JANUARY - MARCH

These assets are covered by EUR 4,471 million of provisions (55% of gross assets). The stakes in Metrovacesa and SAREB amount to EUR 1,440 million. Portugals NPL ratio was 8.26% at the end of March (+14 b.p. in the quarter, and well below that of previous quarters). Coverage was 51% (50% in December 2013). Santander Consumer Finances NPL ratio was 4.14% at the end of March, an increase of 13 b.p. since the end of 2013, due to the entry of the El Corte Ingls consumer finance unit, which had a NPL ratio higher than the areas. Excluding it, the NPL ratio was slightly lower in the first quarter. Units performed well in all countries. Coverage was 105%, virtually unchanged. Poland ended March with a NPL ratio of 7.35%, 49 b.p. less than at the end of 2013, and continuing the downward trend begun in the middle of last year when a peak was reached following the integration with Kredyt Bank and the classification as doubtful of a large company in June. This reduction reflected the good evolution of the main portfolios. Coverage was 65% (+3 p.p. since the end of 2013). In the UK, the NPL ratio was 1.88%, 10 b.p. lower than at the end of 2013. This positive evolution was due to the good performance of all segments, particularly mortgages for individuals. Lending remained stable over December 2013, though deleveraging in mortgages and in non-core company segments such as shipping and aviation continues (-8% and -16%, respectively) Brazils NPL ratio was 5.74% at the end of March, 10 b.p. higher than at the end of 2013. The main reason for this rise was lower lending. Coverage was 95% in the first quarter of 2014, in line with that of December 2013. The NPL ratio of Chile was 5.99% (+8 b.p. over the end of 2013), mainly due to the one-off performances of the portfolios of individual loans. The risk premium was significanatly lower. Coverage remained stable at 51%. Mexicos NPL ratio was 3.62% (-4 b.p. over December 2013) against a backdrop of a year that began with a less favourable macroeconomic environment. Coverage was 99% (+2 p.p. over the end of 2013) The NPL ratio for the US was 2.88% at the end of March 2014 (-21 b.p. in the quarter). Coverage was 163%. The ratio for Santander Bank + Puerto Rico, was 2.44% (-15 b.p. over the end of 2013).

21. THE SANTANDER SHARE FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 21 The Santander share Shareholder remuneration Under the Santander Dividendo Eleccin programme (scrip dividend) for 2013, shareholders could opt to receive in cash or in shares the amount equivalent to the third dividend (EUR 0.152 per share). A total of 227,646,659 shares were issued to meet those who chose the latter option (86% of the capital stock). At the same time, and within this programme, in April shareholders were able to opt to receive the third dividend in cash or in shares. Each shareholder has received a free allotment of new shares for each share they own. Shareholders can sell the rights to the bank at a set price (EUR 0.149 gross per right), to the stock market between April 14 and 28 at the market price, or receive new shares in the proportion of one new share for every 47 rights (in the last two cases without withholding tax*). In order to meet the request for new shares, a capital increase for a maximum of EUR 122,990,076 will be made, (245,980,152 shares). The number of new shares that will be issued and thus the amount of the capital increase will depend on the number of shareholders that opt to sell their free allotment rights to the bank at the fixed price. Shareholders are due to receive on May 2 the amount in cash if they opted to sell their rights to the Bank. Performance of the Santander share The first quarter was marked by the Federal Reserves tapering policy, the subsequent turbulence in the currency markets of emerging economies, the easing of tensions in markets on the periphery of Europe, the reduction in sovereign debt risk premiums, the slowdown in the Chinese economy and political friction between Russia and the Ukraine. Emerging and Asian markets fell sharply and mature ones, such as New York and London, declined to a small extent. Markets on the periphery of Europe rose. The Santander share ended March at EUR 6.921, 6.4% higher than at the end of 2013 and 32.0% year-on-year. Including the dividend payments, the total shareholder return was 8.8% and 46.3%, respectively. The shares evolution was better than that of the Ibex 35 and the main international indices (DJ Stoxx 50 and DJ Stoxx Banks), both over December 2013 and year-on-year.

22. INFORMATION BY SEGMENTSFINANCIAL REPORT 201422 Description of the segments Grupo Santander is maintaining in 2014 the general criteria applied in 2013, as well as the business segments with the following exceptions: 1) In the Groups financial statements: Some corporate operations recently carried out by the Group involve changes in the consolidation method. On the one hand, taking control of Santander Consumer USA (SCUSA) in 2014 meant changing to consolidation by global integration instead of by the equity accounted method, and, on the other, the loss of control of asset management companies sold at the end of 2013 meant consolidating by the equity accounted method instead of by global integration. Pro-forma information is provided with the Groups financial statements for previous periods, modified in order to facilitate comparisons as if these changes had been effective in the compared periods presented. 2) In geographic businesses by restructuring: The area for the United States includes Santander Bank, Santander Consumer USA, which as indicated, now consolidates by global integration, and Puerto Rico, which was previously included in Latin America. The sold units of Santander Asset Management consolidate by the equity accounted method, as commented, in the various countries. 3) Other adjustments: Annual adjustment of the perimeter of the Global Customer Relationship Model between Retail Banking and Global Banking and Markets. This change has no impact on the principal segments (or geographic). The Asset Management and Insurance area is now called Private Banking, Asset Management and Insurance. As regards the figures published in 2013, the domestic private banking units of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Mexico and Chile are incorporated (management shared with local banks). Santander Private Banking in Latin America is also included. For comparison purposes, the figures of previous periods of the principal and secondary segments have been re-expressed to include the changes in the affected areas. The financial statements of each business segment have been drawn up by aggregating the Groups basic operating units. The information relates to both the accounting data of the units in each segment as well as that provided by the management information systems. In all cases, the same general principles as those used in the Group are applied. The operating business areas are structured into two levels: Principal level (or geographic). Geographical areas segment the activity of the Groups operating units. This coincides with the Groups first level of management and reflects Santander positioning in the worlds three main currency areas (euro, sterling and dollar). The segments reported on are: Continental Europe. This covers all retail banking business, wholesale banking, and private banking and asset management and insurance conducted in this region, as well as the unit of run-off real estate activity in Spain. Detailed financial information is provided on Spain, Portugal, Poland and Santander Consumer Finance (which incorporates all the region's business, including the three countries mentioned herewith). United Kingdom. This includes retail and wholesale banking, and private banking asset management and insurance conducted by the Groups various units and branches in the country. Latin America. This embraces all the Groups financial activities conducted via its subsidiary banks and subsidiaries. It also includes the specialised units of Santander Private Banking, as an independent and globally managed unit, and New Yorks business. The financial statements of Brazil, Mexico and Chile are also provided. United States. Includes the businesses of Santander Bank, Santander Consumer USA and Puerto Rico. Secondary level (or business). This segments the activity of the operating units by type of business. The segments are: retail banking, wholesale banking, private banking, asset management and insurance and the unit of run-off real estate activity in Spain. Retail Banking. This covers all customer banking businesses, (except those of private banking and corporate banking, managed through the Global Customer Relationship Model). Because of their relative importance, details are also provided by the main geographic areas (Continental Europe, United Kingdom, Latin America and the United States). The results of the hedging positions in each country are also included, conducted within the sphere of each ones Assets and Liabilities Committee. Global Wholesale Banking (GBM). This business reflects the revenues from global corporate banking, investment banking and markets worldwide including all treasuries managed globally, both trading and distribution to customers (always after the appropriate distribution with Retail Banking customers), as well as equities business. Private Banking, Asset Management and Insurance. This includes the contribution to the Group for the design and management of mutual and pension funds and insurance, conducted in some cases via wholly-owned units and in other via units in which the Group participates through joint ventures with specialists. In both cases, the units remunerate the distribution networks used to place these products (basically the Groups, though not exclusively) via agreements. This means that the result recorded in this segment is net for each of the units included, in accordance with their participation and consolidation method, (i.e. deducting the distribution cost of sharing agreements from gross income). It also includes private banking business as defined above. As well as these operating units, which cover everything by geographic area and by businesses, the Group continues to maintain the area of Corporate Activities. This area incorporates the centralised activities relating to equity stakes in financial companies, financial management of the structural exchange rate position and of the parent banks structural interest rate risk, as well as management of liquidity and of shareholders equity through issues and securitisations. As the Groups holding entity, this area manages all capital and reserves and allocations of capital and liquidity. It also incorporates amortisation of goodwill but not the costs related to the Groups central services (charged to the areas), except for corporate and institutional expenses related to the Groups functioning.

25. INFORMATION BY PRINCIPAL SEGMENTS FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 25 CONTINENTAL EUROPE Attributable profit of EUR 463 million, 64.3% more than in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to gross income (+7.3%) and control of costs. Profit was 53.0% higher than in the first quarter of 2013 thanks to the good performance of all the main lines of the income statement: Gross income rose 0.8%, mainly due to net interest income (+4.7%). Costs were 2.7% lower, with falls in Spain, Portugal and Poland. Loan-loss provisions declined 12.2% and fell in Spain, Portugal, SCF and real estate activities. Growth strategy focused on more lending in an environment of still low demand, and on reducing the cost of funds. Continental Europe includes all activities carried out in this zone: retail banking, global wholesale banking, asset management and insurance, as well as Spains run-off real estate activity. Strategy In the first quarter, continued the development of the mergers of retail networks in Spain and the banks in Poland. Also, in a more favourable but still weak environment with low interest rates, the general strategic lines of the last two years were maintained: Defending spreads on loans and on deposits. Given the comfortable liquidity position, continue the policy of reducing the cost of deposits in all the areas units. Control of costs and exploitation of synergies. Active risk management. Measures to spur lending in the coming quarters in those segments regarded as strategic, especially SMEs, are also being intensified. Activity Customer loans excluding repos was 1% higher in the first quarter, due to Spain, Poland, and Santander Consumer Finance. Over the ACTIVITY ACTIVITY % Mar14 / Mar13 (w/o FX) % Mar14 / Dec13 (w/o FX) first quarter of 2013 it declined 5%, reflecting the ongoing deleveraging in Spain and Portugal. However, Poland and Santander Consumer Finance registered slight growth. The evolution of funds reflected the policy of reducing the cost of deposits, (-2% year-on-year excluding repos), and the greater marketing of mutual funds, (+27%). Pension funds increased 9%. Mutual funds rose sharply over December 2013 (+8%), while deposits excluding repos increased 2%. Results Attributable profit was EUR 463 million, more than 60% above the fourth quarter of 2013 and 50% above the first quarter. The increase over the fourth quarter was mainly due to gross income, both the most commercial components (net interest income and fee income rose 2.9% and 9.3%, respectively) as well as the trading gains of wholesale business. This growth in gross income fed through to profits, to a large extent, as costs, provisions and writedowns as a whole, remained basically flat. As regards the first quarter of 2013, the comparison reflects the favourable impact of all the main items of the income statement. Gross income increased 0.8%, spurred by net interest income (+4.7%), which benefited from the lower cost of deposits in all units. Fee income, on the other hand, remained virtually unchanged (+0.1%), affected by the incorporation of clients from Banesto to the We want to be your Bank programme. Operating expenses declined 2.7%, due to Spain, Portugal and Poland. SCFs rose because of the incorporation of the consumer finance business of El Corte Ingls. Net operating income was 4.6% higher and the efficiency ratio improved by 1.8 p.p. Loan-loss provisions were 12.2% lower, with improvements in Spain, Portugal, Santander Consumer Finance and run-off real estate activity in Spain. Net operating income after provisions increased 29.0% to EUR 799 million and fed through to profits.
